Question
How to treat yellow earwax in a child with otitis media? The boy is 9 years old, and recently, he has been complaining of ear pain. Additionally, I found the earwax to be pus-like and a bit yellow, and there’s a buzzing sound in his ear, along with a slight fever.
Answer
The recommended treatment is to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out using anti-inflammatory ear drops. If the child’s ear pain is severe, it is suggested to provide pain relief medication accordingly. If there is also fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible if there is a high fever. In addition to medication, if the child develops serious conditions such as perforation of the eardrum, immediate medical attention is required. Parents should also pay attention to protecting their child from further infections of otitis media.
